when james was young i took him to some powwows and read him books written and illustrated by native american writers . At a certain age, he seemed to become uninterested. At this time , i make sure that he has books about legends of written by his people. He love reading and is an excellent reader, so he takes in a lot of information. What i could have done and should probably still do is learn more myself about this culture instead of just providing him with the in formation. parenting is a constant learning experience.
